The slow, melodic voice of Sumner and the pop groove complete “Nothing but a Fool”, one of the album’s most slow-paced groove’s on the set. It’s still dance, but it;s much slower, like a ballad. Even though it is what it is, it still leaves us with wanting more.
The man reflects on his lost love, a...
[Verse 1]
I saw her face
In a dream last night
And it hurt so much
Yes, it hurt so much
She was in my mind
As I drank my wine
And now I count the costs
Of the one I lost
She went away
To a different place
And she was never to return
Whatever happened to that girl?
[Chorus, backing vocals by Dawn Zee & Denise Johnson:]
Sometimes you don't know what you've got
You think you're better than the rest
And the world belongs to you
But you're nothing but a fool
If you can hold her in your hands
If you can feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her run away
Don't ever let her drift away
Cause it will break you later on
When you're left there on your own
Don't ever let her slip away
Don't ever let her drift away
[Verse 2]
It's a crying shame
It caused so much pain
It's sad that way
It was me that day
Cause I turned you away
Like I didn't know who you were
I was such a fool
I was so cruel
And the years went by
And without a word of lie
I still love you
But what can I do?
[Chorus]
Hold her in your hand
Feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her drift away
Don't ever let her drift away (let her drift away)
(Let her drift away)
